Ready to conjure up something spooktacular this Halloween? In my latest Video Tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a Spooky Halloween Book Frame Card — a 6” x 6” masterpiece that folds flat for mailing but opens up to reveal a dimensional haunted scene!

📏 Cutting & Scoring Measurements
Start with:
- (2) Basic White Cardstock pieces cut to 6” x 6”
- One will become the embossed background, the other forms the back panel.
Top Frame Panel:
- Cut 6 1/8” square (this extra size ensures it covers the front)
- Use a 6” cardboard template and cut ¾” around to create the frame opening.
Frame Sides:
- Cut four pieces at 3” x 6”
- Score each along the short side at ¾”, 1½”, and 2¼”
Back Stand:
- Cut 10½” x 6”
- Score at ½”, 1½”, 2½”, and 6½”
- Add a 3” x 6” DSP panel to decorate the back stand
💀 Assembling the Book Frame
All the scoring and folding steps are demonstrated in detail in my video tutorial — so you can follow along as we build the dimensional “book” frame that gives this project its signature 3D effect.
You’ll see how I layered embossed panels, Distress Oxide ink blends, and shimmering Spritz sprays to bring this eerie woodland background to life.
Add your haunting embellishments — the Witch’s Cauldron, Haunted House, EEK and BOO sentiments — and finish with a hint of vellum cobwebs and flying bats.
The result? A shimmering, shadowy Halloween scene that’s part storybook, part mini art frame — and 100% handmade magic!
👻 Finishing Touches
- Fold flat and mail in a 6” x 6” envelope
- Customize the BACK panel for a personal message or photo.
- Add Wink of Stella or Glow in the Dark Acrylic paint dots for an extra touch of Halloween sparkle!
